Brian Carrigan is awakened early by excruciating back pain, coupled with a strange recollection of an unusually lucid dream. He and wife Shannon, both physicists, are terrifyingly aghast to find stripes, flesh wounds, under his blood-streaked night shirt. The pair realize that Brian’s lucid dream was no dream, but a peregrination across time where he’d been whipped by a ravenous lynch mob! Yet here he was back in his comfortable bed again, after a seemingly random roundtrip jaunt across the fabric of universes.

            Recounting what he has seen and experienced, Brian and Shannon race against time to arrange the pieces into a coherent, larger portrait like the most complex 50,000-piece jigsaw puzzle. The answers they discover along the way are frightening and alter the trajectory of both their lives, and even the world, as Brian is imbued with great power and tremendous responsibility. New revelations transport Brian back in time and across new dimensions again and again. He is confronted by new enemies and learns how he has come about receiving this gift and about who bestowed it upon him. When Shannon is dragged into the fray by sinister forces, the stakes become intensely high and crystal clear. Her husband is a descendant of the extraordinary Forever People and the world will never be the same! But there are those who don’t want the world to change…
